SESAN GOJU-RYU
Sesan
(“Thirteen Hands”) The outstanding feature of this kata is the combination of circular and straight movement, speed with heavy powerful muchimi (sticky hands), and hard and soft technique. The circular smoothness of the blocks and the linear power of the attacks combine to create to kata of sublime aesthetic beauty. Sesan kata contains a great variety of contrasting techniques. For example, circular movements quickly change to linear moments in combination; fast and slow movements are performed with minimum of excess body motion. This kata is characterized by combinations of techniques containing fast explosive movements balanced and interspersed by slower heavy movements performed with muchimi. Each technique, seeming to be only one strike or block, may contain many meanings. For example, towards the end of the kata a mae geri is performed. It appears to be only one movement, but in fact, a combination of three techniques is involved.
